First Time in Saudi Arabia – the F...

Sitting in my home in Sweden and looking out as the sun set and the clear autumn sky revealed its color rim on the black canvas developing slowly, I could not avoid thinking of the adventure ahead of me. In 24 hours I would be in Saudi Arabia, a country I only had read about and seen in the news on TV.

Camping Destinations in Saudi Arabia...

Camping on the shores of the Red Sea and diving in its warm waters year round is one of the main attractions if you are visiting or live on the west coast.
